Pizza Chef-Kelly Gale representing – 3 businesses listed on one sign:
Kelly Gale, KLG Architecture represented John Gioldassis, Pizza Chef regarding an initial consultation explaining what they are planning on doing on the old Railroad site, from removing the sugar shack, as well as the building which housed IAMNOW and the green houses on the back, bringing it back closer to what the historic look was. Kelly Gale handed out a Non-residential Site Plan for the members to follow what is planned. Another aspect mentioned was adding some space to Dunkin donuts for a small seating area. Also stated was putting in a small (6 to 8) storage unit, and making the former Merrimack store into some office spaces. A new lighted sign out by the street (in back of the building by Route 103) with the three businesses on it is being proposed: Merrimack, Pizza Chef and Dunkin’ Donuts. It is hoped the sign could be approved ASAP and up and functioning for the summer. The large sign on the building is coming down per Mr. Gioldassis.
The Off-premise sign would require a Special Exception from the Zoning Board of Adjustment, and the Variance could be an appeal after the decision, having started with the Planning Board initially.

Rob Messer – West Meadow Stables – West Meadow Road came before the Planning Board regarding installing an 80 X 180 foot inside riding arena with a 60 X 72 foot 15 stall barn.
